Chevrolet Equinox Owners Manual: Charging System Light

Charging System Light

The charging system light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on, but the engine is not running, as a check to show the light is working.

The light turns off when the engine is started. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.

When this light comes on, the Driver Information Center (DIC) also displays a message.
